Sukhoi Interceptors: The Su-9, Su-11, and Su-15: Unsung Soviet Cold War Heroes

I’ve been a fan of Yefim Gordon Russian Aircrafts Books for sometime. This is my fifteenth book of his. Once again another masterpiece. Great information on the three different versions of aircraft. Great stories behind the design of theses aircraft and the operation history of each aircraft. Can wait for his next book.

Very detailed book pertaining to the Su-9/11/15 aircraft. I really enjoy reading this book. Details each aircraft type, its sub-variants and use. Excellent

Very informative book on the various kinds of Sukhoi aircraft and worth having in your aviation library.

I really like this book

Well I've been waiting for this one for a while. This is an excellent publication on aircraft perhaps a bit less well known outside enthusiast circles. I learned many things I didnt know like the fact that the SU 11 Fishpot was the fastest Soviet combat aircraft before the introduction of the Mig 25 in 1972 and in fact faster than its successor the SU 15 Flagon. The high altitude intercept attempts on U2 spyplanes and recce balloons were a fascinating read when viewed from the other side. As ever the nuts and bolts are well covered by these authors and for once a fascinating map of interceptor coverage of the USSR is included on the last page. I must emphasise that the quality of this product is the best I've ever seen with Its thick glossy pages and outstanding imagery. A bit more info on what these aircraft were like to fly might have been nice though as would a direct comparison with western contemporaries like the F106, EE Lightning, Saab Draken/Viggen , Phantom, Mirage III ,5, F1 . Highly recommended

Another masterpiece by these prolific authors of Russian/Soviet military aircraft.

Information from start to finish.

I liked that book and it was ordered so I could read it!

Für alle die sich für die sowjetische Luftfahrt im kalten Krieg umfassend informieren wollen,kommen an den Büchern von Yefim Gordon einfach nicht vorbei. Auch dieses Werk, das eherExoten von Sukhoi umfasst ist wie immer spitze und umfassend - Besser geht es wohl nicht.Aber vernünftiges Englisch sollte man schon können. Viele , viele Bilder und umfassendeInformationen - Einfach toll !
